Summary: Complete BF lesion with OX-SAP leads to coma-like state and flat EEG, reduced Fos in cerebral cortex (but high Fos in brainstem, thalamus, hypothalamus) selective (cholinergic or non-cholinergic) lesion does not have this effect.

Usage: Lesions of the basal forebrain were done by injecting a 0.1% solution of Orexin-SAP at four different sites.
